"A little global warming / never hurt no one."

"If we can't make you open / we will take it out in blood" - perhaps referring to peoples' need to control the earth; thus, if we can't force the environment to bend to our will, we will just hurt the earth further in our efforts to do so.
A lot of Amanda's songs have double meanings, like Truce, so this might be similar.
